Hummingbird Market on the Keelan River
Simple, upfront pricing for artists and organizations.
Welcome! Every booth at the Hummingbird Market on the Keelan River is free to open. You only pay when something sells. Pick the path that fits you. You can mix and match.
1. Already have a store? Link it.
Your booth sends shoppers straight to your own store. You keep running checkout, shipping, and sales tax, just like you do today.
| Booth | Free |
|---|---|
| Our fee | 15% of the item price on sales we send your way. Never on shipping, never on tax. |
| How we know a sale came from us | Your booth link (it carries a little tag), plus a Hummingbird code like HUMMINGBIRD set up in your store. If you use Shopify Collabs, UpPromote, or Refersion, we can use that instead. Attribution has no time limit: any sale that comes through a Hummingbird link, tag, or KR code counts, however long ago the click was. |
| How you pay us | You get one simple report each month. Pay the 15% referral fee within the 15- or 30-day window agreed with you in writing. |
| Sales tax | Your store collects and handles its own sales tax. We never touch it. |
Example: a fan clicks your booth, buys a $35 tee in your store with code HUMMINGBIRD. You owe us $5.25 (15% of $35), no matter how long ago the click was or what they paid for shipping or tax. Sales that don’t come from us cost you nothing.
2. We make it for you (made to order and print on demand)
Send us your art. We make each piece in our San Diego shop when it’s ordered, on our UV printer, laser, leather, sublimation, and wood gear. No minimums, no inventory, no shipping boxes in your living room. We run checkout and collect sales tax on these items. That tax goes into its own separate account and is paid to the state. It never counts toward our fee or your payout. Card processing fees and other direct costs come out of the artist’s payout.
You set the retail price. Here’s what comes out of each sale:
- Base production cost to make and pack the item (set after supplies are ordered and quantities are known; table below)
- Booth fee (your booth tier, below), on the item price only. Never on shipping, never on tax.
- Card processing, passed through at cost (2.9% + 30¢ per order), on the item price only. Never on shipping, never on tax.
Everything left over is yours.
Base production cost per item
Base production costs are TBD after first supply order; they will be set once supplies are ordered and quantities are known.
| Product | Base production cost |
|---|---|
| Patch | TBD after first supply order |
| Tee | TBD after first supply order |
| Coin or belt buckle | TBD after first supply order |
| Leather item | TBD after first supply order |
| Wood item | TBD after first supply order |
Booth tiers
| Tier | Monthly | Booth fee | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founding Booth | $0 | 10%, locked for 12 months | Our first ~25 booths |
| Open Booth | $0 | 15% | Getting started |
| Pro Booth | $49 | 8% | Steady sellers (it pays off around $700 a month in sales) |

Worked example: one $35 tee on an Open Booth

Same tee on other tiers: Founding keeps $30.18, Pro keeps $30.88 (plus the $49 monthly), Org keeps $31.93, nonprofit keeps $33.68, each minus the tee base production cost.
3. Custom design
| Adapting your existing art to our products | Free |
|---|---|
| Brand new design | $75 per design, and we credit it back to you once 25 units of that design sell |
How it goes: we usually get a design back to you within 24 to 48 hours, and sometimes we’ll make a prototype so you can see it for real. Finished pieces take longer; we’ll give you a timeline when you approve the design.
4. No store yet? We’ll build you one.
Want your own store with its own checkout, separate from the Market? We’ll set it up for you, connect it to your booth, and show you how to run it. It’s your store, your checkout, and your sales tax.
| Store setup | One time. We’ll send a quote first. |

Questions? Just ask. Signing up takes one checkbox, no contract. We only send paperwork when you pick a service, and it uses the prices on this page.
